    if it were legal, we could tax the addicts and there wouldn’t be massive amounts of violence along our borders.

    Too bad you cannot recoup the value of the seizure to fund the border war. That money would go a bit to fund guard benefits, pay, aid to guard families, etc.

    That’s because we won’t pay the banana farmers or coffee grower a fair amount for their products and labor. There’s much more cocaine where that came from that still goes through.
